REVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF EXISTING DESIGNS OF SEEDING MACHINES

Abstract

In modern agro-industrial production, a high level of mechanization of ongoing processes prevails. At present, a huge number of machines with various operating principles and devices are used in agriculture. Seeders are distinguished by a variety of principles of action, structures, and working bodies; therefore, identifying the advantages and features of structures, directions of development, as well as principles of action, is an urgent task. The materials of the article show the relevance of work to improve the designs and increase the efficiency of sowing machines. An overview of existing sowing complexes is given, as well as a classification of sowing machines is presented, and an analysis of the merits of the presented designs is carried out.
